Quick Balsamic and Red Wine Mushrooms
These quick balsamic and red wine mushrooms are tailor-made for steak but are also wonderful as a savory side dish, added to pasta, or stirred into creamy risotto. And they couldn't be easier to prepare!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided (2 tablespoons + 1 tablespoon)
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms cleaned, stems removed, and sliced (about ¼")
- 3 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 2 large shallots peeled and minced
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- Ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup dry red wine (Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Handful Italian flat-leaf parsley minced
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-low to medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 10 minutes until golden brown, stirring often.
- When the mushrooms are about done, add the garlic, shallots, salt, some ground black pepper, and another 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the shallots turn translucent, stirring often.
- Pour in the wine and balsamic and simmer the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes without stirring. They're done when the liquid essentially evaporates.
- Taste for salt and pepper. Garnish with the parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: If you're not a wine drinker, consider purchasing mini bottles of wine for cooking purposes, if possible.
